About Amy
Amy Pullen is a licensed mental health counselor who practices in Indiana. She has seven years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and mood challenges. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps that fit daily life.
She begins by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths that can be used in change. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at clear goals like reducing overwhelm, improving communication, or managing mood swings.
Background and approach
Amy emphasizes simple, doable skills rather than long lectures. Her work covers a wide range of concerns, including parenting strain, anger, bipolar and depressive symptoms, attention difficulties, and adjusting to life changes. She also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and co-occurring problems like hoarding or dissociation.
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions and tailors those methods to each person’s needs. She values straightforward talk, practical coping strategies, and building on what already works in a person's life. The aim is steady progress through achievable steps.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions that suit their availability. Sessions can be arranged in formats that work with different schedules and lifestyles.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Amy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work, focusing on methods that teach skills and improve daily functioning. One common approach she draws on emphasizes short, practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress; this involves learning breathing and grounding exercises, identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, and practicing brief behavioral changes. Another approach centers on improving communication and relationships through structured tools; this helps people express needs more clearly, set boundaries, and repair patterns that cause conflict.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together the client and therapist then try methods that fit the person’s preferences and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls suit longer discussions and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free option is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or getting support between longer meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
